CRADLE OF FILTH announce a Live Stream Concert From St. Mary's Church
Despite the extremely difficult situation for musicians and concerts all over the world, Vampyric Masters of Extreme Metal, CRADLE OF FILTH, continue to appease their salivating fans by celebrating All Hallow's Eve in style, even in 2020, the official year of the plague. This time the band, draped around lead singer Dani Filth, take it to the next far-flung tower by announcing a live stream concert from St. Mary's Church, Colchester Art Centre, England for the auspicious date of October, 30th.
As a band CRADLE OF FILTH are over-the-moon to be performing again and in such an iconic location close to Dani's town here in England.
It will be a celebration of not only Halloween and all it’s ghoulish accoutrements, but also of the new CRADLE album being completed, a process that helped neutralise the banality of the lockdown, gifting the band with a deadline-free (and thus stress-free) studio session.
And thus helping make the new album the best the band have written, period.
And now, almost a year on from the infamous London Palladium show, CRADLE OF FILTH are back in (horror) business and planning to raise the roof and rafters of St Mary's Church with a set so undeniably wicked, that the dead in the nearby cemetery may well join the band onstage for a song or two!
So, grab your tickets online now; this is going to be a vicious, delicious, certainly mal-nutritious performance showcasing the band’s new keyboardist and backing singer, as well as a slew of graveyard hits both past, present and possibly future.
In short, October 30th 2020 with CRADLE OF FILTH is going to be the ultimate Nightmare before Halloween!
You have been warned!
You can order your tickets for the live stream here:
Not only can you buy a ticket for the live stream but fans will also be able to buy not one but two different exclusive t-shirt bundles as well as a exclusive limited to 100 people VIP experience graveyard Meet & Greet with the whole band from rehearsal on October 24th - so order quickly as this will sell out right away.
If you cannot watch the show live, tickets will be available to watch or re-watch on the site until November, 12th.
The concert will begin 22.00 BST / 23.00 CEST / 3.00pm PST / 6.00pm EST and is the only live performance of CRADLE OF FILTH happening in 2020. With this atmospheric online extravaganza, the band promise to deliver a show of malefic proportions just in time for this year’s Halloween.
So, grab your tickets and be ready when the tortured souls and spirits gather this October, 30th, in St. Mary's Church, Colchester to witness the electrifying and horrific presence that is CRADLE OF FILTH.

Australian atmospheric black metal warriors GREYTOMB have posted an explanation for the bands hiatus below.
GREYTOMB unleashed "MONUMENTAL MICROCOSM (EP)", 9/15/2017 via TRANSCENDING OBSCURITY RECORDS.
GREYTOMB unleashed "A PERPETUAL DESCENT", 3/22/2016 via BANDCAMP.
FROM GREYTOMB:
Hello everyone,
this is a long overdue update regarding the status and future of Greytomb.
I have put Greytomb on indefinite hiatus due to several reasons. Many things have gone on behind the scenes, and due to several personal and private matters I am the only remaining member. I thank everyone that has contributed in the past, and I appreciate all the effort and passion they put into this little project I dreamt of several years ago - it's grown into more than I ever thought it could.
The main reason for the hiatus is due to ongoing issues with my left arm which are affecting my ability to play guitar.
What initially started out as a slight ache in my left elbow progressed to the point where playing for more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time became excruciatingly painful.
I have since consulted with various health professionals who have attributed this to medial epicondylitis, lateral epicondylitis, bicep tendonitis and inflammation of my left ulnar nerve and I have been slowly working on healing with the aid of exercise, medication and cortisone injections.
Recovery is slow, but doctors are hopeful that with time my elbow will improve and I'll be able to play once again.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada based thrash/death metal warriors ASSIMILATION have posted the bands anticipated new release "TAINTING THE PURITY", unleashed 8/28/2020 via REAPER METAL PRODUCTIONS.
FROM REAPER METAL PRODUCTIONS.
Canadian Thrashing Death Metal maniacs ASSIMILATION are back with their second album, set for release via Reaper Metal Productions!
Reeling from the intense, immense blows of volatility, this album holds nothing back in its rotten and magnificently tight array of pustulant grooves. Assimilation have unleashed a monster of visceral and macabre filth that will not easily be tamed once you delve into their hellish realm of blasphemies and grotesque visions. Atmosphere, horror and some of the most unforgiving Death Metal of late is what you will find here, so venture at your own risk. Technicality and primitivism meet for a blundering, bludgeoning and yet somewhat sophisticates listen that can scarcely be summarised with words. Seek this slab of hostile, pungent Death Metal for yourself!

Athens, Greece melodic black metal warriors MEDIEVAL DEMON have posted "MEET HER MAJESTY", a track from the bands anticipated new release "ARCADIAN WITCHCRAFT", due to be unleashed 11/2020 (release date T.B.A.) via HELLS HEADBANGERS.
MEDIEVAL DEMON unleashed "MEDIEVAL NECROMANCY", 6/22/2018 via BANDCAMP.
FROM HELLS HEADBANGERS:
Taken from the MEDIEVAL DEMON "Arcadian Witchcraft" LP/CD out November
2020 on Hells Headbangers.
HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present MEDIEVAL DEMON's highly
anticipated third album, Arcadian Witchcraft, on CD and vinyl LP
formats.
It was but 2018 when MEDIEVAL DEMON rose from the crypt of time eternal
to release their comeback album, Medieval Necromancy, through longtime
fans HELLS HEADBANGERS. The alliance was fortuitous, as HELLS
HEADBANGERS have helped foster a new crop of ancient-style Greek black
metal with the likes of FUNERAL STORM and SYNTELEIA as well as join
together two of Hellenic black metal's most influential bands, ROTTING
CHRIST and VARATHRON, for a special split 7" just last year. And, as
MEDIEVAL DEMON began stirring in that crypt, HELLS HEADBANGERS was the
label they sought - and on evidence of Medieval Necromancy, indeed was
the past alive!
MEDIEVAL DEMON were formed in Greece in 1993 by brothers Lord Apollyon
and Sirokous. Necrochrist and Muerte joined the band and entered the
glorious Storm Studio to record their first demo tape, Night of The
Infernal Lords. After releasing some more demos, they recorded their
debut album, Demonolatria, in 1995 and released it on Unisound in 1998.
Following that lost classic, MEDIEVAL DEMON ceased activity, but in 2018
did they rise from the time and dust of the mystical '90s to unleash
spells, prayers, and glorify the gods of the underworld and mighty
Lucifer, the ruler of the Earth. Medieval Necromancy was the full-length
spell they conjured, and truly did it sound like those '90s never
ended. Nor will they ever end with the imminent release of Arcadian
Witchcraft.
Truly, MEDIEVAL DEMON's third album is a wellspring of noble '90s
spirits, not just in their native Hellenic scene but further afield:
from old Samael to equally old Master's Hammer, from Necromantia's
pioneering early work to the cult Italian prog band Jacula from the
early '70s, most especially with their haunting church organ. Upon its
first dramatic notes, Arcadian Witchcraft is immediately, excitingly
MEDIEVAL DEMON and pulses further into the velvety abyss with each of
these seven spells. The poise, nuance, and sheer craft of their
songwriting here reaches a masterful level, and one that's authentically
ancient in its splendor - which is perhaps not surprising given that
their lineup now includes one Mutilator, original bassist of ROTTING
CHRIST. Here, he brings along a number of ideas he hadn't used during
the '90s, and likewise does Lord Apollyon unearth a number of old
unreleased songs from those days. Which brings everything full circle,
as Mutilator helped record MEDIEVAL DEMON's first demo at Storm
Studio...
Creepier and more glorious, more proudly heavy metal whilst taking the
listener deeper into the black, Arcadian Witchcraft is an impossibly
essential album from an old band who sound more vital than ever. Long
may MEDIEVAL DEMON reign!

BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
